[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:
I have JG5 installed and put Docs v.7 on my phone was working well for 2 days and today I turned phone on and off and it loads , but a black screen.

The screen lock is there with clock, I slide glass away and just blackness.. no buttons bring up anything, I can't do anything because I cant get into debug mode I am unable to do anything :(

Please please help me asap :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Read the FAQ first please. I'm pretty sure there is a solution for you there!

PS: Weird things can happen on CustomROMs because the result of removing/changing certain components of the f/w is not completely predictable!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:

Sorry the process android process. acore has stopped please try again. force close

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:
I cant even mount my USB due to the errors coming up and coming up everytime I force close on the last error :(

Please help me with some ideas.

I cant go into USB debug mode, I cant mount USB drive. I cant access anything on the phone.. what can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:
In between all the errors popping up I managed to mount my USB and put SamSet 1.1 update on there, I vol up + home and loaded the update..

It restarted and the notification bar looks diff but all the errors are still coming on..

logsprovider

I force close them all but they keep coming around..

Going into download mode enables debug mode yeah? If it doesnt I am screwed..

The phone was working beautifully for 2 days, nothing has changed for all this to go stupid :( I hate when tech goes wrong and you have changed nothing...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:
The laptop needed a reboot :) Flashed JG5 via odin and its all happy now :)

Please be cautious when applying custom ROM's is the lesson here. phew!
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
so I'm really picky about these kinds of issues... so this is something that i would actually hard reset over... the thumbnail that is being shown for one of my sites came out really ugly... whereas my other ones are perfect... is there a way to redo the image that is saved? i know how to delete it but then it will never show another preview...so yea... can anyone help me out?

basically i need the thumbnail to reset so that i can make the preview pretty
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Delete the thumbnail, connect to a decent connection and re-save it as one of the thumbnails.

*Edit* I have no issue with redoing my thubnails in this way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cymatrelic:
Hey guys. First of all a huge thanks to all of you guys. This forum helped me a whole lot over the last few weeks :)

so first of all: I work as a professional translator and therefor am looking for a suitable app to properly edit my microsoft Word documents. What i would need is some app which has a dictionary implemented (as add-on maybe) and things like word count, redo, undo, autocorrect...

Anyway i didnt find anything which suited my needs (also tried documents to go full version) but from all the apps ive tried Thinkfree write still seems the most comfortable. My problem now is: Sometimes when i want to edit a document and open the keyboard (i work with swype) I can swype over the keyboard as usual, but instead of putting the word into the document, the keyboard just closes down and doesnt let me open it up anymore. I have to play around a little bit and try different parts of the doc until the keyboard finally works again. Then it seems to work for a few secs and afterwards it shuts down again... Its really rather annoying. I tried a factory reset and a few reboots, but the problem persists.

Does anyone have similar problems? And do you guys maybe know some other very good Microsoft word editing program?

Ok now to my problem with gangstar. Ive tried installing it and everything works fine. Once i actually enter the game the textures arent displayed correctly. I can play and all but i dont quite see where im going and what im doing.

Im a pretty big GTA fan so id really like to try this game^^

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance. You guys rock =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] blm2hb:
Swype and ThinkFree

I too have the same problem on my Samsung Vibrant with Swype working intermitantly and closing down in edit mode in thinkfree. Anyone come up with a solution yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bec07:
Sure, once you buy the game it will work perfectly, trust me ;)
[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
So I have a bunch of apps that I want to install, and I can't because (at least I think) I'm running CM6, and the apps are compatible with 2.1 or lower. For what it's worth, I haven't applied the OTA update yet.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
[Droid Incredible General] trunklips:
Titanium Backup
[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
Not really sure what you mean. I didn't purchase them yet. Should I revert to a 2.1 build, buy the apps, back them up, reflash, then install them via titanium backup?

That is a pain in the *** but if it's the only way, I guess I'll give it a whirl.

Any other ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
I don't know about u but im having issues using titanium backup when im on froyo. For some reason some apps i backed up on 2.1 won't restore with 2.2 roms. I tried this with all versions of skyrider and cm6. Although that might just be the apps incompatability with froyo its happening with about 70% of my backups
[Droid Incredible General] trunklips:
That's what I had to do.
[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
Plug in your SD card, and turn on SD card storage before you restore the apps.

It's because they are trying to install to your SD card even though you don't have a partition set up on your SD card.

If your SD card storage is turned on, they don't detect an sd card and install to the internal storage.

Happened to me with a bunch of my apps too.
[Droid Incredible General] trunksta:
Haven't had a problem restoring any apps with titanium backup donate version. Running sky raider 1.9 atm but have used 1.0, 1.7, 1.8 also without problems
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
Same here, used TB to restore all my apps on SkyRaider 1.9. The only app that didn't restore was Google Sky.
[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
Plug in your USB cable, enable the USB connection, then download it from the market. It's a froyo bug with any app that tries to force itself to install onto your SD card. If the SD card isn't mounted, it will install to internal memory. Do the same thing with any other apps you find that download but won't install.
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
Cool, thanks. The only other problem I have is with NFL mobile. The app runs fine but when I try to watch the live stream, I get a network error.
[General Questions and Answers] riley90:
Hi there it was my first attempt in flashing my Htc desire and upgrading, i followed all the necessary steps in doing so. I tried to upgrade with the software platform Djdroid v1.1-R1 but now have a blocked network. Can anyone help me resolve this please.

Anomilies that could have caused the upgrade to be unsuccessful:

1. I created the gold card with the micro sd card in the phone although they said not to.:o

2. Was unsure what was meant by Wipe. Was i meant to wipe both partition and factor reset?

3. When I installed Djdroid v1.1-R1 there wasnt any start up screen of any kind to demonstrate that i have just installed a new rom.

4. I used fake flash to install the software on my phone directly.

[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Is anyone else having intermittent drops while connected to wifi? I've noticed my wifi drops and reconnects especially when there is heavy wifi usage... I've tried TKIP and AES with no better luck with either one.
[Droid X General] pima:
wifi

last night when i was trying to download an app from marketplace?:mad:
[Droid X General] miller922:
Yeah, I've just started noticing that. It wasn't doing it most of yesterday and I was using it pretty heavily. It started last night when I noticed both the 3G and wi-fi icons were on. I restarted wifi and it still showed up like that, so I rebooted. Now it seems like it's always on 3G when I pick it up.

What kind of router are you using?
[Droid X General] diegodude:
I used to have this problem regularly with mine and my girl's Droids on 2.1, and appeared to be related to using secured wireless networks. I was able to set up a test wireless network with no security and the disconnects stopped happening. Switch back and 5 to 15 minutes later I was disconnected again. I never found a fix for it on 2.1, but the problem completely went away with 2.2.

Unsure if they're related, but from what people are describing, this sounds exactly like the issues I used to have prior to rooting/2.2 on our Droids.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
I noticed that it was with wep encryption only. I looked through wpa and etc and there was less dropage. Now, i don't know if your all aware, the ipad does the same thing. The only place i seen it hold up well was the wpa and the hotspot app on board.

I wonder if this is just the new radios and modems in these devices?

Sent from my DROIDX via Telepathic DLNA.
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Well I'm using WPA2 on a d-link 855... I thought about trying no security, but hate the idea that I may have to do that.
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Diego dude, you're running 2.2 on your droid? I wish we could do that on the DX...
[Droid X General] TheFuzz:
OK. Let me start by saying I'm not an expert but I may have found a solution. Go to wi-FI networks and go to wireless settings. Then click on options hard key and choose advanced. then choose Wi-Fi sleep policy and set it to never.

So far so good for me. Let me know if anyone has any luck.
[Droid X General] pima:
nice

nice find thanks
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Trying it now!
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Yeah, I'm still having major issues. My phone will drop WiFi very often. Im going to try unsecured next. I've tried changing from tkip to are, tried turning off the sleep function... nothing. It happens most frequently when I'm doing heavy traffic like from or two another computer, where it maxes out the bandwidth capabilities of the phone...
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
My issue is that some apps don't work well with wifi, like google voice when sending txts (it just hangs then says times out)
[Droid X General] pima:
i tried the sleep thing and still no luck i really dont want to switch my security on my router?
[Droid X General] onelifexv:
Have you double checked not only the advanced settings under Wifi for always on, but which battery profile you're running? The default profile is the Smart one, which disables wifi/3g after so many minutes of being idle after peak hours.
[Droid X General] pima:
i will try this thanks i do use the smart profile
[Droid X General] mcmexican:
I read several articles and then under wireless security changed the WPA Algorithm to TPIK and have not had a drop or WIFI issue since. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrisukhd2:
I've just been charged £400 by Orange for exceeding my Data limit of 1GB , watching You tube video's but whilst connected to WiFi.

I did a few tests using www.showip.net and found that when you connect to WiFi your connection is still rooted through your data connection, so your download limit is being sucked away when you are thinking your safe as your connected to your WiFi connection.

You actually have to manually disconnect your data connection, then connect to WiFi, your data connection doesn't automatically disable itself when you connect to WiFi.

This seems like a major bug to me and I can't see this documented by HTC or Windows Mobile :mad:

Is this a know "issue" and is there a fix?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gabbs:
You do not need to pay them anything,just go to your local citizens advise bureau or trading standards..

In order to prevent using 'data' connection you have to disable it with a third party app ,such as data disconnect,even then you have to manually disable it in the connections centre,if you disable it in the connections centre and do not use an app such as 'data disconnect' it will still connect..

Therefore it is a fault with the device..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PhnXFire:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just discovered this issue. Which app will automatically disable 3G when I'm connected to WiFi? I always thought if you were connected to wifi your data would not get used? Guess I was wrong :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nessqn:
Install Android :D Data n wifi works like a charm...

In windows, i've seen Wifi-on-demand once installed,starts the data automatically when wifi is lost,but data stays on even when wifi is reconnected.I guess there is no solution for this yet....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MichelDiamond:
CHTS switches Gprs off, if Wifi is connected. Also you can disable gprs Data totally.

At best you make a home profile, which disable gprs totally and only if you really want to use gprs, you switch to another profile, which allows it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
Hi

I come from the winmo-world. There you can kill an application when you close it, or let it run in the background.

How is this different in the android-world? When reading threads in here i get the picture that android starts random apps all the time without you asking it to do, so the need for an auto-killer in appearant to get the phone run at all?

Sound strange to me.

Ppl also tells you must not install so many apps it the phone is to run smooth? How can the number of installs have anything to do with performance, when they are not started (and the phone still has enough ram to work with)?

In touch hd there is an application-laungher similar to the androids, and if i fill it up with several screens and scroll it gets laggy (the phone is laggy everywhere hehe) but this will not affect the over all performance.

If it has to do with number of present applications in the scrollable view, then, is it possible to reach apps from another menu, instead of having them slow down the gui mounted on the scrollable panes?
[Desire General] kay9jay:
i am trying to change the init script for APP2SD by shade@chemlab.org (cyanogen). it is the standard script for all custom roms.

i want move dalvik cache back to phone memory and app, app-private and data to system/sd. data/data/ is normally moved back to phone memory by the script if someone moves it to system/sd/ due to "compatibility" reasons.

i have edited the script and removed this part.

the problem is that after installing some apps, etc. phone memory is at 13mb and one cant install any additional apps.

also, how do i replace the previous 40a2sd script? i ran into a wall when trying... :(:(:(

When I am in airplane mode I can not send emails because it says it needs a network connection. Is this a standard android "functionality"?

Even old Windows Mobile allowed to send emails in airplane mode that would stay in the outbox and as soon as there were connectivity they would be sent.

I am doing something wrong?
[Desire General] atomfix:
I'm pretty sure that it will go in the outbox ready to be sent once signal is restored or WiFi connection is established.
[Desire General] pms:
Nope... it allows you to reply to a mail but when you press "send", it just says "unable to connect" and my only option is to save it as a draft and send it later.

Yes, the discussion about this is ongoing at the moment. The admins and mods are discussing the best way to handle the organizing of all the Galaxy forum sections, and will likely come to some decision shortly. We're looking at the proposal in AllGamer's poll (see the sticky at the top of this section) as a possible solution, and I'm sure we'll post whatever the final decision is somewhere in each of the current sections (this one included) to make sure all members who need to know are aware.

Well, not replying to anything in particular and nothing really special enough to warrant a new topic and since this is the most "general" Galaxy S topic I thought I'd share it here.

Swiping my Galaxy S along the the left side of the laptop (keyboard) area puts my Macbook Pro to sleep (around the FN key). Only when the Galaxy S is unlocked and screen, just a weird occurrence I thought I'd share. Tried it on a few other Macbook Pros, same result. Looked around a bit, apparently magnet does this but I'm thinking something else. Interesting nonetheless.

Separate areas for Froyo & Gingerbread - i9000

I believe the Galaxy i9000 section of our esteemed forum is starting to become very cluttered and confusing, especially to not-so-switched-on members. A good re-organisation strategy should be implemented. Right now, the i9000 is going through a huge upgrade, and there are many new users coming here to get those updates. Unfortunately, there's no separation between Froyo and Ginger on the boards, so it's very hard to tell exactly what you're grabbing.

A great idea is to get everything Gingerbread in one section, and everything Froyo in its own section, so if someone wants Ginger stuff, they know that by looking in the 'All Things Gingerbread' part of the forum, they're safe in the knowledge they're not going to mistakenly pick up Froyo stuff.
